Workflows

End-to-end task guides. Each page carries one job from the data you have to the result you want and is meant to be read start to finish, so a guide stays whole rather than being split into a procedure half and a knowledge half. Where a guide rests on durable theory it cites the Technique page instead of restating it.

Ordered as a project goes: collect the data, stand the project up, run it, then the jobs that build on a run that has finished.

Guides

  • Project Data Checklist — The canonical list of what to collect from the machine owner before a project can be built, with formats, tolerances and worked examples
  • Basic Simulation — Set up and run a machining simulation from scratch: project configuration, option tuning, NC execution and result inspection
  • Project Construction — How to build a project so that it is actually finished, by hand or over the HTTP API: the build order that avoids rework, the routes the run reads, how to shape the mission, and the acceptance test
  • Workpiece from a Reference Mesh — Decide whether a CAM-exported mesh is the stock or the finished surface, find program zero in it, and build the target and the stock from it
  • Replay Acceptance over the HTTP API — Replay a built project from a script: reset before every start, poll by run id, and accept on steps, contact, executed lines and messages rather than on “Finished”
  • Coloring Steps by Condition over the HTTP API — Sort a finished run's steps into categories by condition from a script, on an instance others may be watching: check and preview a color tree, report each category's share of the steps and the time, add the tree without overwriting another, and show it on screen only when asked, putting the color index back afterwards unless someone else has changed it meanwhile
  • Milling Force Parameter Training — Train milling force coefficients from measured sensor data, evaluate their quality, and apply them
  • NC Optimization — Generate an optimized NC file by adjusting feed rates against power, torque, thermal and force limits
  • Sensor Data Mapping — Map dynamometer, smart tool holder or accelerometer data onto simulation toolpaths so a step can index a real measurement
  • Geometry Validation — Collision detection, geometry difference comparison, defect scanning and flying-piece removal after a run
  • Simulation Report — Turn a finished run into a report a machine owner can act on: the assumptions drawn, each load reading checked against them before it is called a risk, each problem spot shown as its whole machining feature, and screen captures without the navigation panels
  • Dynamometer Experiment SOP — The bench procedure for capturing three-axis force data and calculating milling force coefficients
  • Example Projects — Three walkthroughs for a first project on the Resource HiNC installs, then complete project-level examples that run the guides above against real data
